Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-17-00001-CR IN RE Alex FLORES Original Mandamus Proceeding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Delivered and Filed: January 18, 2017 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED On January 3, 2017, Relator Alex Flores filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus. Relator’s petition fails to satisfy several requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(a)-(k). The relator has the burden of providing this court with a record sufficient to establish a right to mandamus relief, including a copy of any order or other document showing the matter complained of. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a) (“Relator must file with the petition [ ] a certified or sworn copy of every document that is material to the relator’s claim for relief and that was filed in any underlying proceeding”). Relator filed no documents with his petition. In addition, if the respondent to a petition for writ of mandamus is a judge, the petition must include “the name of the judge, [and] the designation of the court in which the judge was sitting.” TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(d)(2). Although it appears from the petition the respondent to this proceeding is a 04-17-00001-CR district judge in Webb County, Texas, Relator does not name the judge or the respective district court. Due to the deficiencies in relator’s petition and the lack of an adequate mandamus record, we are unable to determine whether the trial court has abused its discretion. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
